Enter the total volume of sand (ft^3) into the Sand Weight Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Sand Weight. 

Sand Weight Formula

The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Sand Weight.

SAW = VS * 99.85

Variables:

  • SAW is the Sand Weight (lbs)
  • VS is the total volume of sand (ft^3) 

To calculate the sand weight, multiply the sand volume by 99.85.

How to Calculate Sand Weight?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Sand Weight.

  1. First, determine the total volume of sand (ft^3). 
  2. Next, gather the formula from above = SAW = VS * 99.85.
  3. Finally, calculate the Sand Weight.
  4. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

total volume of sand (ft^3) = 30

SAW = VS * 99.85 = ?
